[2013-09-02] Dear Darlin'

[C-4]

I also just heard the Ollie Mur version on youtube and it is a well written commercial song.
I really liked the chord structure and melody of it. Simon Cowell knows commercial, sellable music, so I am hoping for the best with this duet.
I hope it helps Alizée in France, and any other french speaking country this song may be played in.

I'm guessing that it came about somehow as they are both signed with Sony Music Entertainment.

Pretty much. From what I've seen, none of the popular French artists are signed to Sony. This is great for her though, I hope it has a lot of success.

This is very good news. Olly Murs is very big in the UK right now. I just hope this gets alizee some exposure over here ... somehow.

Just like everyone has said this promising for Lili. I'm fairly confident she'll get a boost in fans just from this single if Mr. Murs already has millions of fans. On a side note her voice is just lovely as always I'll just wait patiently until Sep. 2nd lol

I too hope that she gets exposure to Olly's fans everywhere through this, but I don't really like that the video from Olly Murs' channel on Youtube is Unlisted, meaning that only those with the link can see it. This little teaser (and perhaps later, the single) would get a lot more attention if it was public, that way at least his nearly 66K subscribers would see it on their feed (and a share on his facebook page wouldn't hurt). I know it's really only meant to catch the French public's attention, but limiting it to them is probably not the way to go

Olly Murs has been Robbie Williams support act on his Europe-Tour in summer 2013. Their concert in Vienna was broadcast live on Austria´s number one radio channel "OE3". Robbie Williams is in Europe a Top 3- Musician since a lot of years but unfortunatly not well known in the US. At the moment Olly is one of the newcomers here in Europe during 2013, his songs you can here on every radio channel all day long.

Lili already made a picture with Robbie and met him (shown in the lucky bastard thread), Murs is a buddy of Robbie and now, Olly & Lili making a song together. That is funny

So if this is received well, do you think there is a chance for a video?

That would be an early Christmas present for all of us!

Would there be a video if this 'duet' was put together without the two people ever having actually met in person? I'm aware of a number of 'duets' that have been done this way recently.

If there was enough demand for it, I think there could be a video despite that, but it's too early to say right now. All the feedback we have for this right now is the 15K views of an unlisted teaser video and a handful of comments from non-Alizée fans. We've just gotta hope that when it plays on the radio, enough people listen and like it, and hopefully buy it. Also, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to request it from Sony/Zée/Olly?
